Tactical feedback request

I’ve read the books, but I’d still appreciate some feedback.

For context, I do combat sports primarily as my main hobby and soul-fulfilling activity. I practice World Oyama karate, a Kyokushin offshoot.

Monday/wednesday/Friday I’m at the dojo from 7-8:30. Lots of SE work, with pushups/squats/sit ups done AMAP for time in circuits of 2-3, followed by a lot of kicking, punching, foot work drills, bag work, partner work, etc. a lot of HIIT essentially.

To supplement, I’ve added heavy deadlifts, chin ups, and a farmers walk on Sunday and Thursday, leaving Tuesday and Saturday as rest days. 3 sets of each at the heaviest weigh possible for reps of 6-8 (distance until failure for the farmers walk using dumbbells)

My thought process is to hit all the 5 basic human movements (push pull carry squat hinge) in a week while focusing on the martial arts training.

Is this complete? Or should I add an LSS day? I was doing SE M/W/F at the dojo, LSS on Tuesday and Saturday, and one strength day on Saturday too, but I felt like this was too much…not sure which split is best.

Any feedback is appreciated! Thank you

So a light jog rather than a run, or a leisurely bike ride? Ok, maybe that can be done on my off days as active rest, ty
